Don't rule out a news dump with Gina Haspel's resignation

[malaise]

The Con and Barr are out to get her

1. Apparatchiks everywhere. Loyalty over professionalism.

If he's re-elected, we'll become solidly Authoritarian, with no independent branches or agencies left. One by one, every single one has been compromised or neutered: the FBI, State, DOJ, etc.

Not that the CIA has helped reign Trump in one iota...

[malaise]

3. He will not be re-elected

I go further - he will not be the ReTHUG candidate

[Buckeyeblue]

5. I wouldn't be surprised by that

What do you think? Senate conviction? Resignation? Health issue?

[malaise]

8. I'd love one but it seems to me that it will be two based on three

as an escape route. Hopefully they'll hold off the charges so that there can be no pardon.

7. As I always tell you

Fun dayn moyl zu Got's oyem!

I wish I had more confidence that the slate of Democratic candidates understand the Propaganda War we're in. He won't play fair; he, his campaign, and the GOP's noise machine are shameless, asymmetric and have no bottom. We can't even conceive of how low they will go, how brazenly they'll coordinate with Putin's minions, how disengaged and disinformed Americas are after 3 decades of gaslighting.

In the meantime, the Dems are tearing each other apart with irrelevant purity tests and focusing on pie-in-the-sky policies they know full well they cannot implement. I have no idea who to support right now.

9. I understand your worries but remember November 2018

Dems destroyed them because the population turned out to vote.
The number of people who want him gone are going up every day and he will commit more crimes - take that to the bank.

2. Desperate deeds committed by desperate men in their own desperate times.

4. Has she resigned?

[malaise]

6. Not yet

but she will have to choose - her agency or these thugs.

[Fullduplexxx]

10. Thanks i thought I missed something

[Poiuyt]

12. Wait...what did I miss?

[0rganism]

14. looks like Putin finally got through to Trump about the "consolidating power" thing

all those career people serving in various capacities throughout the government? gone by May, to be replaced with Trump loyalists by August.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. he's following Mein Kampf, with a touch of Stalin via Putin's tips

[spanone]

16. Become a criminal conspirator, or you're out the door.

[malaise]

21. Yep

He's a monster

[Takket]

18. what is this about? Nothing in the news about Haspel.......

[ScratchCat]

19. The thought is

that Trump/Barr are trying to force her to say the CIA/Brennan broke the law and she clearly isn't going to join their conspiracy when no such thing occurred. I hope to hell she refuses to resign, and if fired, states matter of fact why.

22. Public enemy number One and Two

Trump and Barr are happily selling America down the river to stay in power. I can’t tell you what I’d like to see done with them...
